Core platform onboarding and several source connections are substantially complete. Atlan's contracted role is primarily advisory — the customer requires a partner-side leader who provides the delivery capacity and technical execution to move the implementation from connected platforms to a usable, governed, and adopted catalog.</p> <p class="s13">The Atlan Implementation Project Leader / Manager is the single accountable owner for that execution. This is a hands-on delivery leadership role, not a pure coordination role: the successful candidate runs the integrated plan and RAID discipline while remaining close enough to the platform to unblock lineage, connector, and RBAC issues personally. They will complete the remaining Phase 1 scope, prepare and execute the rollout, and establish a repeatable operating model that can be reused for future domains including Finance, Sales, and Marketing.</p> <p class="s12"><strong><span class="s11">Business Outcomes This Role Is Accountable For</span></strong></p> <div class="s14">•<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="s7">Trust:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>Establish Atlan as the trusted enterprise entry point for finding, understanding, and using governed data.</div> <div class="s14">•<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="s7">Unified foundation:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>Create a unified metadata and governance foundation for the Customer 360 initiative.</div> <div class="s14">•<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="s7">Efficiency:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>Reduce manual stewardship effort through Context Agents and repeatable enrichment workflows.</div> <div class="s14">•<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="s7">Access:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>Enable business users to discover certified assets while retaining broader visibility for designated roles.</div> <div class="s14">•<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="s7">Scalability:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>Create a repeatable implementation pattern that can be lifted into future domains.</div> <p class="s12"><strong><span class="s11">Key Responsibilities</span></strong></p> <p class="s16"><span class="s15">Program & Delivery Leadership</span></p> <div class="s14">•<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Own and maintain a single integrated delivery plan covering all remaining milestones, dependencies, and critical path.</div> <div class="s14">•<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Run the RAID log (risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies) as the authoritative program record and drive weekly planning and status cadence.</div> <div class="s14">•<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Serve as the named delivery owner bridging Atlan's advisory engagement and the customer's in-tenant responsibilities — closing the execution gap rather than escalating it.</div> <div class="s14">•<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Maintain a role matrix and escalation path to protect decision velocity when stakeholder availability is constrained.</div> <div class="s14">•<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Provide clear, executive-ready status reporting to the customer's DMO and program sponsors.</div> <p class="s16"><span class="s15">Technical Implementation</span></p> <div class="s14">•<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Direct and validate connector configuration across Snowflake, Salesforce, Domo, dbt, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle, with Okta for SSO.</div> <div class="s14">•<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Lead end-to-end lineage validation for Customer 360, including mapping resolution, defect triage, and documented test cases — the current highest-risk milestone.</div> <div class="s14">•<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Troubleshoot platform, ingestion, and metadata issues hands-on, engaging Atlan advisory support where appropriate.</div> <div class="s14">•<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Coordinate the Monte Carlo integration for data quality visibility as an adjacent capability.</div> <p class="s16"><span class="s15">Governance & Access Configuration</span></p> <div class="s14">•<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Complete RBAC and persona modeling, configuration, and testing;
